The 30-year-old, who partnered John Terry at Euro 2012, was initially left out of Roy Hodgson's squad to face San Marino and Montenegro but received a call-up after Michael Dawson and Rio Ferdinand withdrew from the team.

"If you'd asked me last year what my chances were of making the World Cup [2014] squad then I'd have said, 'Yeah, pretty good,'" Lescott told reporters.

"But you don't know. If I can play more regularly at club level then I think I'll be there.

"Towards the end of the season, I'll address that [situation at City]. But for now, I'm fully focused on England and what England need to do."

Lescott was confident that his lack of playing time would not be a problem if he is selected to face Montenegro on Tuesday having completed 90 minutes against San Marino.

"I haven't been playing as much as I'd like of course but I have confidence in my own ability," he added. "I haven't been injured because I haven't been playing and I feel sharp enough to adapt to anything they offer."
